PROLOGUE

Any day was pretty much the same, for every smurf and smurfette. The Smurfs had their own village as did the Smurfettes. However, Smurfette thought that after saving both the Smurfs and smurfettes that she shouldn't be the "damsel in distress" anymore. No.. she wanted to actually be helpful in any way she can, so she took on Smurf - Fu and has never felt more independent and somewhat free from just being the girl smurf.

However, one day she will always remember a certain incident not just involving her, but even a certain bulky and strong Smurf that had changed her feelings for him in a good way, little did she know.. he always felt the same way.. on to the story now :)

Please be aware, that this is my FIRST Smurfs story, and I do watch the old cartoons and especially the new series. So technically, this could be considered a fan made episode of the new series in Season 3 or 4 in the future maybe??. I also might be a bit rusty so please forgive me for any grammar mistakes or any inconsistencies and this is all in just fun and entertainment! :D

One day, Smurfette was helping out with Leaf, the new Nature Guardian as the previous one, Mother Nature had just retired, Smurfette remembered Mother Nature and visited her at times, especially through her times of need and guidance... well before Mother Nature retired and when the other smurfettes came into Smurfette's life, she would now go to either Papa Smurf or even SmurfWillow, the leader of the smurfettes for knowledge and guidance. Though, deep down, Smurfette knew Mother Nature made the right choice in choosing young Leaf as her replacement, Leaf somewhat reminded Smurfette of...well herself, when Smurfette was first created by Gargamel for his inconsiderate and diabolical plans...

Leaf couldn't help, but notice Smurfette being in thought about something... "Everything okay Smurfette?" Leaf chirped.. Smurfette shook her head a bit, "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine, just smurfy Leaf," Smurfette smiled. In a way, Leaf couldn't help, but find slight comfort in Smurfette's presence and the other Smurfs, as they don't judge her happy and optimistic enthusiasm and her manners, along with the fact that she felt like she could talk to Smurfette about girl stuff as if they were classmates in a school.

Then, all off a sudden.. Smurfette spoke up, "Thank you so much for letting me help you Leaf, but I don't get why you wanted me to help when there are many more of us.." Leaf clearly understood what she meant, being the only Smurfette with so many Smurfs fawning over her to now being the Smurf Fu teacher, who saved the other Smurfs and discovered a Smurfette's village has got to be a lot for her. "Well I chose you, because I would love to get to know you better and besides you remind me of myself in a way Smurfette, you are always welcome to visit me in my home and talk to me.. girl to girl." Smurfette couldn't help, but feel her cheeks warm up slightly at being complimented on.. but most of all, actually feel helpful to not just her home, but also her friends too.

"Oh my!! I'm afraid I'll have to go Smurfette! I have a patient who needs a potion to able to turn into a cat." Smurfette had a bewildered expression painted on her face, "Why would someone want that?..." she thought to herself.. but Smurfette didn't want to be rude and just smiled at Leaf, after all Leaf is training to be the new Nature Guardian, so why question her methods? "Oh! No problem Leaf, I'll probably smurf you later! " Smurfette happily waved as she saw Leaf turning into a butterfly and fly away with her potions in tow.

Smurfette kept looking up at Leaf smiling and then noticed the sun is starting to settle down, "Oh my Smurf, I better Smurf back to the village for dinner." Smurfette felt her stomach rumble with agreement and then all of a sudden... *CRACK* Smurfette opened her eyes slowly to discover, one of the potion bottles dropped from Leaf's bag and she was covered in a yellow like substance, which had a rather reeking scent, Smurfette did NOT want to know what it was... not only that, but she strangely started to feel a bit itchy?..

At the Smurf Village

Smurfette arrived just in time for dinner, there she decided to sit next to Hefty and Jokey. She noticed that they were having blueberries and carrot soup, there was only one blueberry left and Smurfette's hand and another Smurf's hand both touched the top of the blueberry, it was Hefty's hand. They both looked at each other, she saw a tingle of red in Hefty's cheeks and smiled.. she observed his strong hand, in comparison to her small, yet delicate hand, "wait.. what am I s-smurfing?! Hefty probably needs it more!." Both of the blushing Smurfs quickly retracted their hands from each other with Smurfette touching hers and Hefty gently massaging his?. Smurfette then had an idea, she chopped the blue Berry in half and gave one to Hefty, they both once again gave each other a longing look of something? Until they could hear snickering from Jokey.. and continued to eat quietly...

Later on, all of the Smurfs headed off to their mushrooms as it was nighttime now. Smurfette, however strangely didn't feel that tired? So she thought about trying to burn her energy by going for a nightly run. Normally, she would do this with Hefty as in a way, they are pretty much like sport partners and it's brought them a lot closer.. so she decided to go up to his mushroom hut and ask him, it seemed like Hefty had the same idea as he opened his door and saw Smurfette standing close to him, their eyes were locked again.. "Why does this keep on happening to us?, they both thought" Eventually, they both got distracted by Brainy's roll call for every Smurf to be going to sleep... which made them both groan and roll their eyes in annoyance.

Brainy, then came to a stop in his Smurfway, "Hold it! What are you two doing still up? Papa Smurf said -", He had not enough time to finish as Smurfette interrupted quickly, "I couldn't sleep Brainy, nor could Hefty.. so I thought maybe... we could try to have a nightly run to help make us feel tired?," Brainy wasn't so sure and frowned slightly, but he knew better than to argue with her and Hefty as he knew he could once again, get a smurfy clubbing from one of them or worst, both of them.. he sighed. "Fine, but if you two get into any trouble or Gargamel finds any of you, then just be careful and be safe." They both nodded and watched Brainy smurf his way out with his smurfway. Then they both looked at each other, "soooo... do you actually feel like going for a nightly run tonight Hefty? Or do you want to stay here?" . Smurfette whispered quietly... she was somewhat hoping he would come.. Hefty, then placed a hand on her shoulder and gently shoved her as he sprinted past her playfully, " Hah! You gotta catch me first Smurfette! Last one is a rotten Smurf! ." Smurfette couldn't help, but smile back playfully and sprinted after him, "He is so going to be sorry when I Smurf him!".

The duo sprinted in the dark forest and made sure that they weren't too far from the village, but further enough to not cause any ruckus or noise that may wake up the slumbering Smurfs. Smurfette sprinted further than Hefty, due to shortcuts and then thought of some payback.. "Hehe.. time for payback Hefty.." Smurfette hid in the bushes and waited for Hefty to pass by, then when she saw him stopping and looking around for her presence. She knew it was her chance and pounced on Hefty gently, in which he gave out a startled gasp. But the fun wasn't over yet... the place they stopped was on a hill, so both Smurfette and Hefty felt themselves slightly leaning and then falling downwards towards the hill as they both laughed, screamed and held onto each other..

There, they landed in a patch of flowers with Smurfette, on top of Hefty, despite they both being slightly dizzy from the experience, they still had fun... then Smurfette realised the position her and Hefty were in and she backed off. She eyed Hefty getting up and brushing the flowers off himself, which made Smurfette chuckle. They both got up at the same time and laughed. "Well that was definitely something! " Hefty chortled. Then, they noticed the moon's glowing beams shine on both of them, and shockingly, Smurfette's hair started to glow very bright and become a vivid gold, but still remain her golden locks. Hefty, looked at her in shock, warmth and something else that Smurfette couldn't picture in his eyes." Smurfette then noticed the glowing had stopped and so has the Moon...which confused the two Smurfs.

They in the end, decided it was time to go home. They both laughed and Hefty then saw a stray dandelion and gave it to Smurfette, Smurfette was surprised by this loving gesture and watched as he gently put it on the edge of her hair and hat. Smurfette couldn't help, but look at the dandelion blending in with her hair. She heard a yawn from the strong Smurf and snickered, "Haha you must be very smurfy Hefty Smurf, come on let's Smurf home," they were about to walk, then Smurfette heard something she was sure it could be Gargamel or his cat Azrael.. she was certain of it. "Smurfette?", Hefty asked, he looked at her and realised that she was looking at the bushes. He was about to go towards them, until Smurfette placed her hand in his chest to stop him and yet, she felt his heart racing against her hand..

Smurfette decided to stay put and observe what's in the bushes. "I'm going to stay here Hefty, and see what's in those bushes." Hefty being the stubborn Smurf, he was wanted to stay with her, yet she gave him the look.. the look as in I know you want me safe, but I'll be fine and I'll be careful, trust me on this.. Hefty in the end, agreed as he felt his tiredness starting to show and quickly ran back to the village as Smurfette stayed alert. Smurfette admittedly was quite happy about the outcome of her and Hefty's nightly run..well er- tumble..down the hill.. she couldn't help, but smile and blush at how she felt Hefty's gentle, but firm chest against her hand and - Smurfette then heard the rustling again... she then pushed herself through and noticed there was no smurf or anyone here? "I could've sworn I smurfed something here..." Then she noticed the itchiness and found odour came back, and realised there was growing hair to grow on her hands and little razor claws on her fingertips.. she panicked and tried to call for help, but collapsed from the tiredness and the sudden effects.. all she remembered was when she woke up the next morning...

What do you all think of the story so far? I'm pretty happy with how it is so far. Don't worry, you will see more coming! :)
